Jungle (1990)

»Enormous trees
with trunks forty feet in diameter rose two hundret feet overhead, where
they spread their dense leafy canopy, blotting out the sky and
perpetually dripping water to the ground below. Curtains of grey moss,
and creepers and lianas, hung down in a tangle from the trees; parasitic
orchids sprouted from the trunks. At ground level, huge ferns, gleaming
with moisture, grew higher than a man´s chest and held the low ground
fog.«
